Borough Theatre

The Borough Theatre stands in the centre of Abergavenny, a Monmouthshire town in south-east Wales. It occupies part of a Victorian town hall built in 1870 on Cross Street, its small auditorium designed for clear sightlines and good acoustics. Historic and traditional features share the space with modern touches, giving the interior a fresh feel. The building was renovated twice, once in the 1990s and again in 2022. In June 1963 The Beatles performed here during an early tour. The theatre is the main stage for the Abergavenny Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society, which puts on regular drama and music. A varied programme of touring artists also appears, covering different art forms. Visitors find drama, music and other arts on offer throughout the year. The intimate setting makes every seat a good one. Inside, the auditorium’s design ensures clear views of the stage from every seat. The blend of old and new fittings creates a welcoming atmosphere. Outside, Cross Street places the theatre among the town’s shops and cafés. Abergavenny’s market days add to the lively surroundings.
